mini homo erectus

i watched the national geo's bit on the mini humans tonight. AWESOME!!
any thoughts? can't wait til more info becomes available. all you bio and history geeks give me your feedback! oh,here's a ling to NG's site in
case you didn't catch the "hobbit" program. google.nationalgeographic.com...
8&q=hobbit

if the lnk doesn't work just go to www.nationalgeographic.com and type hobbit in the search field.

I know I'm starting to sound like a one-track guy, but is it possible these were the ancestor of the gnome? I mean, they're practically small
enough. I believe that humans forced the gnomic race into the bowels of the earth through the process of natural selection.

if it is the one i know of i read quite alot on the subject, where hey found them, they also found rats that grew to the size of small horses, and i
am not sure if it was elephants that were just really small, but when this appeared it did cause a stir, it was on rishard and judy i tihnk maybe the
day or the day after. one person said when he was in the war around that area a group of small human like animals crept out of the bushes, but he told
no one untill the news came out, there is still no proof that the actual animals are extinct. pretty interesting.

psychosgirl: if you want more info, I think that there's a thread on it on ATS's archeological forum. What I do know is that they were found
somewhere in the Phillipines, and that the skeletons weren't very old (I can't remember how old they said they are, but I know that this species
supposedly was still around even after the Neandertals went extinct)

I heard about those little guys. they used to (or still do) live on some little island in asia or africa, but the islanders have stories about small
people like childeren who lived in caves and spoke in small gibbering noises to eatch other
